The Application for Admission to Candidacy for Degree is a paper form and is available at the following address: https://graduateschool.camden.rutgers.edu/graduation. This application should be signed and approved by the graduate program director and then submitted to the Graduate School-Camden for certification. The October, January, and May graduation dates all have strict deadlines that must be adhered to and can be found at https://graduateschool.camden.rutgers.edu/graduation.

In general, the diploma application is the most important part of graduation and has the strictest deadline as it informs multiple offices of a student's intent to graduate. Students are encouraged to fill out the diploma application if they even have a slight intention to graduate in the upcoming cycle. These applications can be denied if a student changes their timeline; however, applications cannot be input past the diploma app deadline.
